I don't really know anyone...

Especially people who took the same path as me.  Objectively that is.

I was a quiet reserved kid growing up in Richmond, until I hit puberty, I then moved to Hercules.

In Hercules, everyone was probably the same as me academically skill-wise, however, I brought the same ego I had from Richmond, thus it was unusually high for someone so average like me.  Because of this, my pride was hurt hard, and I became silent...

Not only that, but I think I had unusually large breasts for a little boy.  I was growing a bit fat at the time, eating burgers everyday, however I still was active in the basketball courts at my backyard, shooting once in awhile.

I never really had friends at all in middle school.  Didn't really invite anyone, nor did anyone wanted to really talk to me.  I wouldn't open up to them anyway otherwise.

High School came along and I still had my pride.  I don't have much experience with almost anything at all, thus abstract thinking became extremely difficult for me.  I couldn't comprehend feelings that I have never experience.  All I knew though was that something was wrong with me, and I couldn't concentrate, I felt like a defect because I just felt so different.  Though, to add to that, I was under stress and pressure that I had to keep leveling up in MapleStory.

I fell in love a few years later, but I never caught signs that the feelings were reciprocated, which led me to feel even worse than I already have, but at the same time, it taught me another side to the world; the world to humor.  She taught me you can find humor in almost anything, something I've always had but never really expressed.

College came, and I went back to my shell, until I figured out I didn't like doing what I was doing.  The only good feeling I can possibly obtain was love, so I attached myself to this girl who I wasn't even remotely attractive to.  I attached myself hard.  I was so confused, and what did I have to lose?

Eventually, I realized that I was missing a few pieces of myself, and I was terrible at my self expression... terrible at communication, and thus I had to think further of what I was missing.

This led me to meet people of my kind.  Those in pre-death, also known as residents of the nursing homes.  It was there where I achieved my Certified Nursing Assistant Certificate, along with the acknowledgment of how well I can get along with ghetto people.  I decided that I loved everyone as long as I'm accepted, and as long as I get the responses I wanted.

Then I felt the need to do good.  It was when I searched further with research that I understood that there is no good and bad, and that everything is beyond good and evil.  Everyone's equal, and everything's genetics, which drew me into the Bio field.

In this field, I didn't care anymore because, I just didn't care, and now here I am, reading books in the library.
